An apparatus in the form of a disk for the separation of oxygen from gases, or for the pumping of oxygen, uses a substantially circular disk geometry for the solid electrolyte with radial flow of gas from the outside edge of the disk to the center of the disk. The reduction in available surface area as the gas flows toward the center of the disk reduces the oxygen removal area proportionally to provide for a more uniform removal of oxygen.

A method of removing oxygen from a feedstock containing oxygen comprising: a. providing a disk of oxygen conductive solid electrolyte material; b. contacting a peripheral portion of said disk with a feedstock containing oxygen in a manner such that said feedstock moves radially inwardly from points

A method of removing oxygen from a feedstock containing oxygen comprising: a. providing a disk of oxygen conductive solid electrolyte material; b. contacting a peripheral portion of said disk with a feedstock containing oxygen in a manner such that said feedstock moves radially inwardly from points around the periphery toward the center of said disk; and, c. applying a current to said disk in a manner such that oxygen is removed from said feedstock containing oxygen through said disk to an output side thereof.
